I had an aggressive fill yesterday. I drank a hot slim fast for dinner around 7:00. I went to sleep about 10:30 and kept waking up, coughing and choking. I did not pb or slime but I ended up sleeping with lots of pillow at my back so I was somewhat sitting up. The coughing scares me. Today i had small coffee, and a cup of tea. I also have been drinking a warm slim fast over the last three hours. Since i just had the fill, I would like to tough it out and see if things loosen up. However, that coughing...I am going to have nothing to drink after 6:00 tonight in hopes I won't repeat last nights experience. My chest is pretty tight right now. Any advice?

State: New Jersey | Hi,
Can you please explain what do you mean by an "aggressive" fill? How big is your band and how many cc's are in your band so far?

I think I had 7.2 cc's in a 10cc band. I believe my doctor mad it 7.8cc's. She said that since i have lost weight, I should be able to tolerate this much.

I think that you should contact your doctor especially since you are coughing through out the night. I was told that is a definite sign that your band is to tight.

I experienced the same thing. I had to get unfilled a bit and also stop eating 3 to 4 hours before I went to bed.

Just went through this last week-end. I thought I would loosen up a bit with warm liquids. I was able to drink small amounts over a period of HOURS and then it would start coming back up. Coughing started, my band got tighter and tighter, and I wasn't able to swallow my own spit. Sounds like you're too tight. Get a small unfill.

Thanks to all who suggested I see a doctor. Today Sunday, two days since fill, and I was miserable. In the past month I lost 5 pounds. In the last 2 days, I lost 6 pounds more. It is really hot outside so I was concerned about dehydration in addition to my pain. And yes...coughing is a sign of tightness. So this morning I called the emergency number, was seen and had a partial unfill. I feel so much better and i am spending the afternoon, in air conditioning, drinking fluids to rehydrate. You guys are the best!
